Box of Freedom – 2018

DramedyWritten by: Adelina Suvagau, Steve Saunders, Sonia Suvagau

Box of Freedom is the story of Dora, a Romanian censored comedienne whose hopes at speaking her mind in a freed country vanish when former communist leaders still in positions of power threaten her life. No longer wanting to support her underground artist life as a high-class escort, she flees in a cargo ship’s container bound for Canada.

Her claustrophobic journey along with two complete strangers becomes a forced meditation that is filled with surreal hallucinations and regrets of having left her four-year-old son behind. Always relevant and never depressing, Box of Freedom is about parenthood, friendship and the very nature of freedom.
